Kitchen

[maplezen]

[For cooks and people bothering the cooks. /STARES AT SPAIN. Also for waiters and waitresses coming and going.]

Romano's Station

[middayitaly]

[And here's our southern half of Italy, looking perfectly at home in the kitchen with his dicing and slicing and being quick and efficient and all sorts of things he'd be completely incompetent at in the battlefield, but manages to be a pro at in a culinary setting. How odd. But a lifetime of practice will do that for you.

So he'll be cooking many many meals and pretty much in the zone and will probably shout at you to get the fuck outta the way if you interrupt him and his processes. So... feel free to do so. /STARES AT SPAIN]

Romano's Station

[eltercio]

[ While Romano is doing that, Lurky McLurkerson is standing behind him, admiring his prowess in the kitchen. He had seen it plenty of times before so it wasn't exactly NEW to him but he was still beaming and proud like a parent. ]

Needs more tomatoes.

[ He's also APPARENTLY BEING STARED AT BY TWO PEOPLE. /STARES BACK AT CANADA AND ROMANO. ]

[middayitaly]

[Shooting a glare back at Spain. Because did you not see the last icon, there were fucking tomatoes who were getting owned by Romano's prowess, bitch.]

I got the tomatoes, dumbass!

[Continues with his busywork for a little while.

... But gives Spain a glance that almost looks like he feels a bit bad. Just a little.]

... If you're bored, you could help prepare the herbs or something, dammit.

[eltercio]

[ Spain is so proud of Romano's ownage of the tomatoes. ;_; ]

You could have used more!

[ But he listens anyway and looks around. ]

Where are the herbs?

[ Pauses. ]

Where are the knives?

[middayitaly]

[... SIGH.]

Dammit, bastard, find your way around the kitchen yourself!! The knives are in the fucking knife block.

[He has the herbs out on the counter already, so he just shoves them to the side where there's free space. And just gives you an exasperated look before going back to chopping those veggies.]

[eltercio]

[ OH HERE THEY ARE! ]

[ Pulls the herbs over in front of him, chuckling warmly to himself. ]

This is a new kitchen for me, Romano! I don't even work here!

[middayitaly]

[ROLLS EYES PASSIONATELY]

It looks like every other damn kitchen ever, Spain.

[eltercio]

[ Now that was an eyeroll if Spain had ever seen one. That eyeroll would kill a baby! ]

My kitchen didn't look like this one! You've seen my kitchen!

[middayitaly]

You could at least recognize what a damn knife block looks like!

[Gives Spain a very quick glanceover before grabbing a nearby apron and tossing it to him.]

... In case you manage to make a mess with herbs. [That may have been a snrk.]

[eltercio]

I-I know what a knife looks like!

[ He looks around before pulling a large knife from the block and holding it out. ] See?

[ Lunging forward, he puts a "Z" in one of the tomatoes that Romano hasn't cut yet. What does Z stand for? Zorro of course. ]

[middayitaly]

[...........]

What... the fuck was that for? I was gonna use that, goddammit!

[eltercio]

[ Spain laughed. Both at how ridiculous that was and also at the silly idea Romano has that he can't use a tomato marked by Spainzorro. ]

You still can!

[ Spain flipped the tomato into the air, catching it on the table and slicing it with the expertise of a several hundred-year-old tomato farmer. ]

Ta-da!

[ He scraped the tomato pieces onto Romano's cutting board. ]

[middayitaly]

[Looks just a bit amused by the display, but not necessarily impressed. He's already used to seeing Spain's kitchen expertise, too.]

... that's great and all, but I asked you to help out with the herbs, dammit.

[But he takes the tomato slices anyways, using a few of them to put in a hamburger. (Not his favorite dish to serve, but if anyone could make it a good one, he was sure as hell he was going to.)

He pushes it out on a counter so that a server can grab it. Now using the rest of the tomatoes to start making sauce. Then he pauses.]

You wanna finish this sauce, actually? You can at least do that, right?

[His voice is somewhat teasing. Mostly because tomato sauce was the easiest shit in the world to make.]

[eltercio]

Oh! Oh right!

[ He isn't as skilled at cutting herbs as he is at tomatoes but it isn't like he sucks at herb chopping! He's just...not going to get excited about it or do anything fancy. ]

[ Hears what Romano says. ]

Can I do SAUCE correctly?

[ Is actually kind of offended by this. ]

Romano, I practically invented that!

bothering romano

[miarrendo]

[after being encouraged by Germany, Italy gets permission to go into the kitchen and spots Romano and Spain. He'll hang back for the moment, until you guys want to talk to him]

Veeeee...
